Thanks Dave. It sounds like your requirements are not far removed from Don's.

I will be changing flwrap to wrap ASCII text uncompressed. Binary data (images, Word documents etc) will still require compression and base64 encoding.

I've already made the changes for the next posting of fldigi to suppress the leading garbage characters in an auto extracted wrap file.

How about a command line switch to enable the compression? I would really like 
that!

As a first cut I've code it as follows:

   Compress Always-Never
Changed wrap to:
         compress always for binary data source,
         compress never for ASCII text data source.
       Changed unwrap to:
         decompress maybe if LZMA identifier string is found in
         the wrapped payload.
       Base64 encoding always for compressed wrap.

The command line switch is quite feasible. It seems that the MS community really does not understand how to enable command line switches on their desktop launchers. I recently posted a long email on linuxham, NBEMSham, and win-fldigi on how to use "--config-dir". I'll be there will still be questions on how to do it.

Dave
